Mr. W. B. Couch, Chairman of the High School Board, opened the proceedings after the students had sung the spirited chorus "Men of Harlech", with a short address in which he con-' gratulated the citizens on having in thîs town an educational institution that presents such an excellènt're- cord as Bowmanville High School has this year, flot only in the academic courses but in the realm of sport and general. athietica. Form I girls gave a wand dril that was very pretty and attractve. Their instructor is Miss M. E. Frank-. lin, B. A., teacher, of English and Lower School subjects. Her class certainly did her much credit, being one of the- stellar nunibers of the evening. Before proceeding to present the prizes, Rev. C. P. Muîrhead, Rector of St. John's Anglican Church, re- ferred to the treasure bouse of know- ledge open to ail the younk people, of this age. He said- there are treas- ures to be found la the study of mathemnatics, history, poetry, French, and Nature among the hundred treasure houses with the reach of ail! students, and counselled those pre. sent to diligently f'ollow the pursuit of knowledge. The Boys' Glee Club sang spirit- edly a humorous song, a.parody on the military boys of the barracks. They "brought down the house" and were enthusiastically recalled. Dr. C. W. Slemon before present- ing the athletic prnzes, gave a very timely and excellent address on the value of dlean sports for boys and girls of the schools, telling how as a teacher his custom was to join in the sports and games with his pup- ils and ail feit the benefit of the wholesome exercîse engaged in. He complimented the B. H. S. students on their remarkable achievements in the Inter-School Athletic Meets as recorded in the printed program. (published on another page of this issue.) Girls of Fornis III -and IV gave a s3plendid *exhibition- of Club Dril, the equal of any presented hiere for a long time. It was one of the de- lightful features of the evening and was heartily applauded. The in- structor of this class is Miss E. S. Tighe, B. A., teacher of Classics and History. Principal W. J. M~orrison, B. A., was assisted by Mr. A. R. Scott, B3. A., Teacher of Mathemiatics, in dis- tributing the Certificates and Diplom- as--as--indicated--elsewhere- Mr~. Morrison made only ~a short refer- ence to the work of the school ow- ing to the late hour. Perhaps one of the liveliest num- bers, next to the Boys' Glee Club was the Folk Dancing by the Girls of Form ' Il who had been trained by Miss I. K. Smith, B. A., teacher of English, Modemns and Art. The girls were rapturously applauded and had to make a second appearance. The great honor of the evening feli to Miss Viola Shortt of Dar- lington, who gave in fine voice and clear, enunciation the Valedictory Address. She was congratulated at the close of the prograrn on her splendid address which Miss Shortt kindly permitted us to publish in this week's paper. The chorus "0 Canada" lustily sung and the National Anthem brought to a close a very enjoyable and interesting evening. 1The accornpýnists were Misses Gwendolyn Williams and Marion Piekard. The former was the re- cipient of a bouquet of carnations froni the Boys' Glee Club. The decorations of the Hall in red ,and white with B. H. S. standing out clearly on the green cedar back- ground were exceptionally beautiful. We publish the complete list of prizes and Awards on another page.
